Claudio Ranieri said it. When he announced that salvation would be achieved in the last minute of the last match "I had Pavoletti's goal in the 94th minute in Bari in my head". And he, the rossoblù bomber from Livorno, was the speaker of the Unipol Domus party . At the end of the match against Fiorentina, and salvation achieved a day early, Pavoletti took the microphone to accompany the rossoblù coach's entrance onto the pitch on his farewell day.

Now he also greets him with a post on Instagram. There are various photos: him hugging Sir Claudio, the team forming a group, the celebration after the three crucial points won against Sassuolo.

And a text: «You came to our rescue in our darkest moment», he writes, «in this season we would have thrown ourselves into the fire to convince you to remain in our command. Men, anecdotes, teachings, not only about football but about life."

To then conclude: «Thank you for everything mister».
